Grants:IdeaLab/Wikipedia among students

Inspire campaign

Wikipedia among students

Expanding Wikipedia among students, even more, results in Wikipedia content being developed faster. However, most people in my university are unaware about the wikipedia editing policies, and that, them having a lot of capabilities to edit and improve wikipedia's content might be an asset to wikipedia when they have proper assistance.

Project idea

What is the problem you're trying to solve?

Aware people about Wikipedia on campus and make a Wikipedia editing team with targets and goals to be met each time a project is made by the team.

What is your solution?

This team will consist of students on campus, led by a few people, and each member of the team getting individual support from the leaders and from the other team members. These team members also will have other students contributing and being assisted by them. With edit-a-thons and meetings conducted in the club, content development, good and featured article making, etc. is very likely. It is just like the small paper publishing team i made, and which according to expectations, is already making good papers. Not only this but also are the people motivated in mozilla firefox the same manner. So, this solution might be the best to address that problem. I was already looking to establish a Wikipedia Campus Club for the same reason earlier and make a wikipedia development team and improve wikipedia's content and help others improve it too. However, I came across this inspire campaign which might fasten the process.

Project goals

The most important goals of the project is to improve wikipedia content. Making atleast 10 good articles, 10 featured articles, 40 good article reviews, and 40 did you knows are the goals of this project in the initial stage.

Who will you be doing outreach with?
